Coins Upon The Eyes Songtext / Lyric

Coins Upon The Eyes Songtext [Lead - Matt]
[Lead - Bud] This tenebrous tariff will cost you dear
In sweat and blood, but please no tears
Clinking coppers fall upon dead ears
Overdrawn and overtaxed for years

Coffin nails are never still - ever more plots we've yet to fill
Another deposit in the till, gravehills, rising grim and still
Some say that death is dead - it's all undertaking, too much overhead
But in sooth I'm in the red, in my deathbed I repose obscenely overfed

Coins - upon the eyes
You paid to live, now pay to die
